Résumé Writing Learning Outcomes What is a résumé? A résumé is one of the documents that you need when you want to get a job. It is typed and tailored to the specific role you are applying for. Your résumé summarises who you are, what you can bring to the role and your skills, experiences and achievements that are relevant to the position you are applying for. This information is listed and described under relevant headings. How long should a résumé be? Your résumé is a summary so it should include relevant information and be as brief as it can be, while also having enough white space to make it appealing to the eye. There is no set rule about the length of your résumé, but in Australia some résumé writing experts say that a school student may aim for a résumé of 12 pages, while others recommend no more than 4 pages. What information should be included in your résumé? 1. Your Contact Details The top part of your résumé should include your: Name (in a larger font than other information on your résumé). Email address. Mobile phone number Some résumé writers suggest that you don’t need to include your full street address. It is argued that an employer will contact you by email or text message rather than mailing a letter to your street address. Here is an example of how you could present contact details on your résumé: My Name [email protected] Mysuburb, Mycity, Mystate, 0045 Mobile: 0419 666 777 2. Opening statement Your opening statement is a short paragraph (2 4 lines) where you summarise what you can bring to the role and employer. This statement is often referred to as your value proposition, i.e., what value you can bring to the role. The heading for your opening statement may be something like Profile or Summary. Or you may type your opening statement without a heading. Another option is to start your opening statement with your objective as a heading as shown in the example.
